WHETHER YOU ARE a Celestial Mountain Goat by birth, have your Moon, Ascendant or ruling planet in this sign or have a ‘loaded’ Tenth House in your chart, Capricorn is the sign associated with the winter solstice in the northern hemisphere and a portal through which light once again returns. For all of us, somewhere, somehow, we can all reclaim the light. From December 21-22 until January 19-20, we all get a chance to experience the Capricorn force as it brings a greater degree of control and ambition. Somewhere in your daily life you will feel this force because everybody has “Capricorn” somewhere in their astrological chart and when the Sun – our solar star, lights up this sector – you too light up and can partake in the heavenly dance of command. Even if you are not a Capricorn by birth date, take a test drive on some of the qualities and suggestions below if you’ve ever wondered what it feels like to be a Cosmic Capricorn.
THE CAPRICORN WAY
1. Your mystical gem is the onyx.
2. Lucky day is Saturday.
3. Make sure the numbers 7 and 3 are somewhere in your life.
4. Best colour is deep and dark green.
5 Quiet and contemplative spaces ensure success.
6. Develop a personal relationship with your back, skin and teeth.
7. Pay special care and attention to your knees.
8. Stop being so damn serious.
9 In time, you get EVERYTHING because…
10. You believe in the value of work.
11. Your greatest liability is your need to control.
12. Your greatest asset is your power of concentration.

BIRTHDAY WISDOM
DECEMBER 2009 – JANUARY 2011
21 December
It’s a year ahead for competition and challenge but only if you take on yourself as your greatest adversary and teacher. The universe wants you to learn about your inner resources and just how expansive your depth of being is rooted in the networks of knowledge that you enjoy. A year of endings and beginnings.
*

You can draw strength from your pragmatic time-tested approach, all the modern technology now at your disposal along with an amazing mastery of life skills that feed into your hard won ability to manage people. Knowledge is power and you’re right at the center.

23 December
There is almost nothing that will be denied you in the coming year if you can get your head and heart wrapped around the idea of partnership. 2010 is a year unlike anything you have ever experienced in your entire life. Get ready to be changed forever by the forces of transformation that are ready to pull you in to your core. Find closeness or closure with a sibling.
*
24 December
You have ambition and a gift for financial management. 2010 will find your creativity dancing from one project to the next. It’s a restless year and one that will find you pleasantly flowing from one emotional crisis to the next intellectual challenge. Much personal growth is occurring in your career sector for the next two years and it’s time to get serious here.
*
25 December
It’s about embracing all of life’s conflicts and challenges and learning to let go of what no longer serves. It’s a year unlike anything you’ve ever experienced and you'll be pushed to grow intellectually, to take command of your inner life with it’s depth and passion. Your life is linked to the larger pulse of the planet and personal healing comes through action.
*
26 December
The year ahead is asking, nay demanding that you take on the role of leader and showcase your outstanding feel for esthetics. Motivation is everywhere and your teacher will be behind and underneath almost every post and pillar along the way. Be the person you want to be. Love yourself and grow in knowledge as you remember to smell the roses.
*
27 December
If ever there was a year to express your sense of beauty and explore artistic leanings, this is it. The sphere of soul and the essence of love will dance with you in the coming months and it wouldn’t surprise me if you attracted the greatest love of your life so powerful are the fates of love working to help you see the value of who and what you are.
*
28 December
What a powerhouse you are. Forces are aligning to reveal the depths of passion and capacity to recharge that you possess. Balance your dreams with your passion for self-expression and almost anything will be within your reach. You hold extraordinary power of attraction and relationships are a source of fanatic love or will bring out the desire for sensual pleasure.
*
29 December
The year ahead is for showing up, claiming your rewards and being able to articulate what it is that is your message. You have a special knack for self promotion which will be given its head. It’s up to you to harness your emotional power, say goodbye to what’s dead and gone and move forward in the fullness of what it is that has value. Cherish love.
*
30 December
Look back 9 years and see how far you’ve come. 2010 is all about the realization of many of your dreams and in particular the desire to form a lasting love partnership. It’s a year of completion and in many respects of endings but don’t be afraid of what you lose for your cup needs to be emptied in order that it can be refilled. Focus on health concerns for inspiration.
*
31 December
The power of love, of partnership and of being in relationship to oneself, others and the world is the principle in play for the entire year ahead. You’ll be asked to feel everything at the deepest levels: to grieve, to love, to rejoice in ways that will tax your soul, test your character and hopefully take you to the core of your humanity.
*
1 January
A year of immense change as the breath of life pulses your world anew. Learn and grow through partnerships and know that they will come fast and furiously if you stay open to the flow of life. Family matters emerge to help you see your place in the world so that you can redefine and deconstruct the tangles, twists and turns that create you.
*
2 January
Your ability to wield control will be enormous in the coming weeks and months but so too will be the desire for others to wield their influence over you. It’s a year best used to explore your relationship to power and all the nuances that it holds. Long-term investments, psychology, psychic encounters with gifted mediums and mystics all pull you to that place of the magi within.
*
3 January
There is a wonderful and calm background energy that lingers throughout the year coaxing you into meditative and contemplative ways of working and being. Take these cues seriously as all the work that lies ahead is for integration of creativity be it through writing love letters to oneself, others or starting that script that will set your spirit on fire.
*
4 January
Architects and painters are blessed with the power to indulge their love of the physical form and raise it to the highest standards of perfection in the coming year. The art that gets created will be of a practical and rather detailed nature but with Vincent Van Gogh touches of colour that only a master of perception and detail could capture. You are such a one.
*
5 January
Never before have details made such a difference as you continue to remodel your life, one brick at a time. Fall in love with yourself and then it’s all bets off as to what and who you will attract. There is a sweetness shining through and like nectar, will attract suitors, particularly from your career or knowledge sector. Your reputation rises in stature.
*
6 January
Challenge yourself in the year ahead and know that you have the ability to connect with your community, social sphere and the world at large. Love blooms anew and your heart is young again no matter what numbers you’ve racked up or relationships you’ve tumbled through. Your charms are magnetic and your strengths are balance and fairness.
*
7 January
You’ll need to watch a tendency towards nervous rumination as your creative spark is merging with a powerful intellectual stream that will definitely throw you off your stride. Balance needs to be one of your watchwords along with prudence and organization. Less is more when it comes to your career goals so make them fabulous and make them finite.
*
8 January
Your life is a smorgasbord of art, business and investments as you reinvest in strategies that have stood the test of time. In fact, it’s the perfect year to dust off ideas that haven’t seen the light of day for at least 12 to 18 years. Enjoy a renewal of hobbies that you began during your childhood and early adolescence and friendships from years past will be rediscovered.
*
9 January
It’s a year for seriousness, secrets and subtle acts of power that will bring you the inner warmth that you long for. It’s also a year to break up and rebuild, reassess and recharge yourself so frequent time outs or at least two perfectly timed holidays are essential elements for a life well lived in the coming months. Profits from career moves are now in the pipeline.
*
10 January
Pay attention to an important pattern emerging this year which is found by watching the lunar cycle. Exactly two days before New Moon each month you’re on a roll and practically everything that happens of any consequence will be bunched around a one week window of time at New Moon. Your love of beauty and inner harmony goes international.
*
11 January
21 is your number and throw in a 3 for the big win. Good to great luck is about to drop into your lap. This year just gets better and better so go for the adventure, new home and take some risks. It's a year to fall in love with life again. This kind of magic and new beginnings doesn’t happen that often.
*
12 January
The stars have turned up the heat and your visionary power has tripled since the new decade has clicked over. Maybe it’s the numbers, maybe it’s your stars but there is no denying that you embody an entirely new agenda in the coming 4 seasons. Focus on your family, emotions, desires for new locals and stretch yourself to make those critical changes.
*
13 January
What are your values? If you don’t know them, the year ahead will be most revelatory as it’s a harvest year. You’ll reap what you have sown from the years 1998 and 1991. Your emotional intensity is unlike anything you’ve ever experienced before. Dig deep.
*
14 January
Mystery, intrigue, romance and the exotic all blend their magic into the journey that will be 2010 as this year marks the end of a long cycle of obsession with either a career or family matter and clears the way for a lightening of the load. Go out and buy a feather immediately as this is your new metaphor for the way you could be walking in the world.
*
15 January
I wouldn’t bet against you this year so strong are the winds that are gusting at gale force to push you along in your life’s voyage. Everything needs to be fresh, alive and in the moment. The past is gone and will never and can never return. You are a literal powerhouse and what you get done in the coming 365 days will set the tone of your life for the next decade.
*
16 January
The past is dead and gone, at least it could be if you believe it. You’re standing at a place of new awareness where vision and the ability to step into a new future awaits. Your personal history does not have to be part of your current philosophy. There are opportunities, like stepping stones that will lead you to a new paradigm.
*
17 January
Your life is a fascinating tapestry of metaphysics and money in the coming months. Navigate carefully as there are many hairpin turns, descents and switchbacks ahead that will keep you on track. You’ve learned so much about yourself, what passions drive you forward and where you see yourself going. Now have some fun with all of this.
*
18 January
Watch the lunar cycle all year as your best days come 2 to 3 days after the New Moon. You more than likely have never had a year so sensitized to your needs and those of others – a virtual psychic is what you will become if you let your sensitivities soar. Make room for those in your family who have drifted away to come closer and encourage the dialogue to flow.
*
19 January
A powerhouse of potential awaits if you have the vision to launch your dreams in the coming months. Truly I haven’t seen such vigor aligned to intelligence and solid people skills in many moons. It’s a year to take knowledge and inspire yourself with all of the many possibilities that now lie before you. A family member seems to be the key to all of this unlocking.
*
20 January
There is a lot of creative power flowing through your veins but just be careful where and with whom you share your love. You have the potential to attain much in the way of leadership or lose everything in the name of profligate spending so be wise where finance and fun intersect. You have, among many talents, a brilliant gift for organization and leadership in 2010.
